I figure it’s about time I posted about some movies tangentially related to oldskool\/rave… Here’s one of my favorites. No film quite nails the origins, sound and soul of techno quite like “Vibrations”. Watching this movie is like doing a vulcan mind meld with Jeff Mills AND Juan Atkins at the same time. <\/p>\n

\nMovie Synposis: <\/strong>Suburban rock guitarist gets in an accident and has both hands amputated. Becomes homeless, moves to SF, passes out in a warehouse which is used for a rave later that night. Wakes up, befriends raver girl (Christina Applegate!!), gets cyborg hands made by a “hacker” and his rave mc friend, dresses up like Robocop and plays scales on a midi keyboard live which apparently is the “ultimate” rave music because it has more notes than normal rave music. Tours with fierce ruling diva, U96 and Utah Saints. The end.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s also supposedly a Utah Saints performance which is cut from the US release of the film, but is on a region free Hong Kong DVD.
